Hot Deformation Behavior and Constitutive Modeling of Alloy 800H Considering Effects of Strain

摘要

High-temperature single-pass compression experiments were conducted on alloy 800H using a Gleeble 3500 thermal-mechanical simulation testing machine, and hot deformation behaviors at temperatures of 1,000-1,150 ℃ and strain rates of 0.01-1 s~(-1) were investigated. The results revealed that dynamic recrystal-lization (DRX) behavior occurred more easily under deformation conditions with relatively low strain rates and high deformation temperatures. By taking the influence of strain on the hot deformation behavior into consideration, a strain-dependent hyperbolic sine constitutive model was constructed. Based on this revised constitutive model, flow stress during deformation was predicted. The linear relation between the predicted value and the experimental result was as high as 0.99648, and the absolute average relative error was 2.019 %. Thus, it was demonstrated that the strain-dependent analysis provided a constitutive model that was able to precisely predict flow stress under experimental conditions.
